How to install Windows from USB- WinSetupFromUSB with GUI


Recommended Posts

Need your help. How to make a multiboot disk with win 2003 server and linux red hat 5.4? Where can I find detailed instructions with screenshots or a clear sequence of actions? I was not able to understand myself.

Use 1.0 beta7.

Format the USB stick in FAT32, use the tools included.

Select Windows 2000/XP/2003, point to the source directory.

Select Parted Magic/Ubuntu/Other G4D compatible ISO, point to the Red Hat ISO file.

Press GO.

You may need to defragment the Red Hat ISO file once it's on the USB stick, use contig or wincontig. Use google to find links.

WinContig is already included in WinSetupFromUSB directory\files\tools\WinContig.

Once you boot Red Hat installer press enter for default boot options, further in the process select Hard Drive for Installation Method, select the usb device and for directory where the ISO is type

./

Do you think we are magicians or what? :w00t:

You cannot load an image in memory if you haven't enough of it.

The scope of this app is to Install Windows from USB (and NOT to add to it every possible kind of OS, and NOT to twealk the latter to work -if possible - on underpowered machines)

You may have better luck with Sardu or Xboot (or any of the other good LInux utilities):

http://reboot.pro/forum/126/

or do your own experiments, since this app already installs grub4dos, add the whatever you want manually, after WinsetupfromUSB has run:

Some examples of known working OS's:

Remember that if you map a .iso directly the .iso needs to be contiguous.

Rename the iso file to something including 'ubuntu', i.e. linux-mint-ubuntu-32bit.iso. Format the stick. Add linux mint first to the stick using the PartedMagic/Ubuntu option. Defragment the iso file in the USB stick\Ubuntu\ if fragmented using the included in \file\tools\WinContig\Wincontig.exe. Add the rest to the USB stick.

NOone is telling you to load the .iso in memory, we are all suggesting you to map the .iso directly, i.e. WITHOUT using --mem mapping.

Hey guys,

On the second part (GUI mode) of the installation of Windows, i got a couple of "2 (HEX:0x2)" messages on the screen, and a blinking cursor at the end. Is this the normal process?

I am using WinSetup v1.0 beta7 , orig windows xp sp3 vlk, hp 520 laptop and a kingston 4gig thumbdrive.

Was the disk partitioned in advance? How did you do it? Can you delete all partitions during the first part, reboot, start first part again and create new ones ?

You were already told how to do it, just a few posts above.

Why did you attach this file? It's only about Windows Setup, 2000/XP/2003 versions.

infotronix, you asked about Linux Mint and an answer was given. Now you are talking about something which only you and the crystal ball know about.

I have no clue what you are attempting, but do not expect us to be mind readers, nor expect from the program to magically convert and boot whatever ISO you throw at it. Open up a new topic, ask other questions if you need to add other stuff apart from Linux Mint and Windows setup and be as specific as possible. Read your answers, try, try again, read again, do not expect spoon feeding, try again then ask again in that topic if no luck.

I can't find anything that will open the archive. 7zip doesn't even recognize it as valid.

Thoughts?

WHAT archive? :w00t:

Whenever you have a problem with something post a reference or a link to it.

wow this is very nice ... wish you could add an advanced option to use syslinux I have better luck booting machines from it but keep up the awesome work

Thank you.

Syslinux lacks some grub4dos specific options. If you have syslinux MBR in mind you can modify the USB stick putting syslinux MBR on it afterwards and chainload grub4dos grub.exe from it:

I can't find anything that will open the archive. 7zip doesn't even recognize it as valid.

Thoughts?

Re-download the archive, whichever that is. I've just downloaded 1.0 beta7 and opened it just fine in 7-zip 9.20.
